IZAK9

As part of our Maths week in school, our class got to play with the IZAK9 block sets. This can be quite tricky. First we looked at the 2D shapes that the blocks made and their patterns. Then we had to put the numbers one to nine in order. Not as easy as you think as they were all mixed up and you had to get the right background as well as the right number. This took a lot of thinking time and team work by each group to get it right. In the end of course, we solved the puzzle.

Experiment Time

Experiment time

Mrs Peters helped us experiment with making our very own bubble mixture. She showed us the ingredients told us the recipe required to make a good solution for blowing bubbles. We compared our mixture to the big bought mixture to see which one was better.

As well as creating our own mixture we also created our very own bubble wands. We tried to invent new shapes for our bubbles but we were unsuccessful.

Never mind we had great fun testing out both mixtures outside after. The bought solution was probably better but our mixture did work well too.

We discovered that all bubbles are round.

Autumnal learning

We had great fun making our hedgehogs by recycling the Autumn leaves that we had collected. To make the spikes we then added in our sycamore seeds. They made a great display for our classroom window.

Cross curricular learning in Primary Two

Our children learn to develop through many forms of media. Here are some examples of how their thinking skills are applied throughout the curriculum.

Creative design

Flight investigations

At the end of the topic we tested our paper planes to see if they were any good. Then we compared them to the natural sycamore seeds that we had collected on our Autumn walk around the school grounds.

We checked for distance by launching them off the bridge. We then checked for ground lift by running across the field to help with take off. It was hard to get any thrust, the drag from the wind kept the distances short.

The sycamore seeds flew better as the were able to use the uplift from the wind to go further.

Design and Technology in Primary Two

We folded, joined, built, knocked down, experimented and created within our topic work and in our learning through play sessions.
